The AWA Microphone for Harbour Bridge 75Th
..The Microphone used for the Sydney Harbour Bridge Opening ceremony. Compiled by David Burger, March 2007 with material from: - Phil Burgess Telstra, - Ted Miles – ex AWA technician. Press Release No. 94 (14/03/07) – Telstra's Sydney Harbour Bridge 75th birthday gift Phil Burgess, GMD, Public Policy and Communication, Telstra. Telstra has donated a rare microphone from its historical collection used to open the Sydney Harbour Bridge 75 years ago to the Sydney Powerhouse Museum - and it has created a bit of excitement. The Reisz microphone is a rare example of Australian technology manufactured in 1930 and was used to broadcast the 1932 opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge to thousands of people. What has made the microphone especially significant is the signatures of all 10 dignitaries at the opening ceremony, including the NSW Premier John T Lang, NSW Governor Philip Game and the Bridge's Chief Engineer, JJC Bradfield. Speaking at the official donation event, Telstra's Group Managing Director PP&C Phil Burgess said that Telstra was proud to share this wonderful piece of Australian history with the community on the 75th birthday of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. "Every good piece of history has a story behind it and this microphone is no exception," Dr Burgess said. "Thanks to the Powerhouse Museum, many more people will be able to see and understand the role it played in unveiling a great Aussie icon." Why did Telstra have the microphone in its historical collection? The microphone became one of a collection of microphones owned by Mr Philip Geeves who was announcing for AWA (Amalgamated Wireless Australia Ltd) on the day of the Sydney Harbour Bridge opening.

Powerhouse Museum Exhibitions 1988-2018
"1 The Powerhouse Museum: an exhibition archive 1988-2018 Exhibitions developed by and/or displayed at the Powerhouse Museum, the Observatory, the Mint, the Hyde Park Barracks, the Powerhouse (now Museum) Discovery Centre and online from 1988, when the Powerhouse opened its doors in its new Ultimo location, to 2018. Abbreviations: PHM Powerhouse Museum MNT The Mint Museum HPB The Hyde Park Barracks HB Harwood Building (previously Stage One) OBS The Sydney Observatory PDC Powerhouse (now Museum) Discovery Centre WP Web-based Project AMOL Australian Museums and Galleries Online TR Travelling exhibition PP Powerhouse publication EP External publication Preface From its original establishment in the 1880s to the present day, the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences, previously under different names and now known as MAAS, has proudly and diligently exhibited different aspects of its outstanding collection. The following list seeks to provide a record of exhibitions from the opening of the new Powerhouse Museum venue in Ultimo in March 1988 through the 30 subsequent fruitful years. The list also documents exhibitions in associated venues including the Sydney Observatory, for some years the Hyde Park Barracks and the Mint Museum, as well as touring exhibitions. Many years of rigorous planning preceded the 1988 opening of the Powerhouse Museum, which was heralded as the most important cultural development in Sydney since the opening of the Opera House, and a major event in Australia’s bicentennial year. A museum for us all, a museum of creativity, curiosity and community, the Powerhouse Museum set out to explore the interrelationship of science, art and people in an Australian context.

Great at Organising & Talking on the Phone We'd Love You
GREAT AT ORGANISING & TALKING ON THE PHONE WE’D LOVE YOU TO JOIN OUR TEAM! VOLUNTEER WITH THE SYDNEY OBSERVATORY ADMIN TEAM Sydney Observatory, built in 1858, is Australia’s oldest existing observatory and one of the most significant sites in the nation’s scientific history. In 1982 Sydney Observatory came under the management of the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences. It is now a museum of astronomy and offers a range of educational programs in astronomy and science, which includes the solar system, the universe, space travel, and the history of astronomy. We are looking for a School Rewards Volunteer Role Description: Sydney Observatory receives many requests for support form schools and community organisations. The policy has been to support all NSW schools ( High Schools, Primary schools, State and private schools) and the Starlight Foundation. This must be handled in an ethical and open way and recorded so that there is an auditable system. The aim is to engage with schools who will then make a booking, or for their parents and friends to promote Sydney observatory as a great place to visit during school holidays or weekends. This system has been working well and the uptake of the complimentary tickets is high which means the message is reaching the schools. There are approximately 12-15 applications for support a month. This is a feel good role. It provides direct contact with school fundraisers and an opportunity to say theMAAS is supportive of education for all schools. Key Volunteer Tasks: 1 day per fortnight (10am – 2pm) Based at Sydney Observatory Read requests and make a decision Phone the school or requester (or send an email) Address the envelope correctly and include relevant information Send out tickets with brochures and any forms in a professional manner Keep a log of requests Skills & Knowledge Required: Professional manner Good phone manner.

Paolo Giorza and Music at Sydney's 1879 International Exhibition
‘Pleasure of a High Order:’ Paolo Giorza and Music at Sydney’s 1879 International Exhibition Roslyn Maguire As Sydney’s mighty Exhibition building took shape, looking to the harbour from an elevated site above the Botanic Gardens, anxiety and excitement mounted. This was to be the first International Exhibition held outside Europe or America and musical entertainment was to be its greatest attraction.1 An average of three thousand people would attend each week day and as recent studies have shown, Sydney’s International Exhibition helped initiate reforms to education, town planning, technologies, photography, manufacturing and patronage of the arts, music and literature.2 Although under construction since January 1879, it was mid May before the Exhibition’s influential Executive Commissioner Patrick Jennings3 announced the appointment of his friend, Milanese composer Paolo Giorza4 as musical director: [H]is credentials are of such a nature both as a conductor, composer and artist, that I could not justly pass them over. I think that he should also be authorised to compose a march and cantata for the opening ceremony … Signor Giorza offers to give his exclusive services as composer and director and performer on the organ and to organise a competent orchestra of local artists for promenade concerts, and to conduct the same.5 The extent of Jennings’s personal interest in Exhibition music is evident in this report publicising Giorza’s appointment. It amounts to one of the colony’s most interesting cultural documents for the ideas, attitudes and objectives it reveals, including consideration of whether an ‘Australian School of Music, as distinguished from any of the well-defined schools’ existed.

Powerhouse Parramatta Gets Green Light
MEDIA RELEASE | 13 February 2021 Image: Moreau Kusunoki and Genton POWERHOUSE PARRAMATTA GETS GREEN LIGHT The Powerhouse Museum has welcomed confirmation from the NSW Government that planning consent for Powerhouse Parramatta has been received and the project will now move into delivery. Construction of the Moreau Kusunoki and Genton designed Powerhouse Parramatta will now commence, with early works to start in the coming weeks. Once complete, the flagship Parramatta Powerhouse will include over 18,000 square metres of exhibition and public spaces, attract 2 million visitors each year and will be the first NSW Cultural Institution to call Western Sydney home. Powerhouse Board of Trustees President Peter Collins AM QC said: “I applaud the NSW Government’s visionary investment and commitment to deliver Powerhouse Parramatta and look forward to working closely with Infrastructure NSW as we move into the construction phase of the project. Powerhouse Parramatta will be a ground-breaking contemporary museum that will set a new benchmark in how museums engage and reflect their communities” “Powerhouse Parramatta will be our flagship museum and will sit alongside Ultimo, Castle Hill and Sydney Observatory to provide extraordinary cultural benefits for our communities - Australia’s very own Smithsonian for our globally renowned Collection.” Powerhouse Chief Executive Lisa Havilah said: “Powerhouse Parramatta is the largest cultural investment since the Sydney Opera House and planning approval marks a transformative cultural moment for the communities of Greater Sydney and NSW. We are excited to be embarking on building an internationally significant museum that will connect young people and communities with our Collections and tell stories of ingenuity and innovation.” “We look forward to continuing to expand our collaborations across the community to create a museum that reflects the extraordinary diversity of Greater Sydney.
